After leaving the Pelion Plains, our next challenge was to climb Mount Ossa, Tasmania’s highest peak 1,617 metres. It wasn’t the easiest task in the world, but I’ve been told it’s easier than climbing its more illustrious cousin, Cradle Mountain.

Nevertheless, the mountain was sizeable.

The lower slopes were a little waterlogged.

Once we reached a good elevation we could even see Cradle Mountain in the distance.

And from the top, we could literally see the whole of Tasmania!
